Prime Minister Chính Attends 60th Anniversary Celebration of Bình Giã Victory

Hanoi, December 3, 2024 – The Europe Today: Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính on Monday attended a solemn ceremony marking the 60th anniversary of the Bình Giã Victory (December 2, 1964 – 2024). The event was organized by the Party Committee, People’s Council, People’s Committee, and Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu Province.

The Bình Giã campaign, conducted from December 2, 1964, to January 3, 1965, during the resistance war against the United States, spanned the formerly Bà Rịa, Long Khánh, and Biên Hoà provinces, as well as two districts in the south of Bình Thuận Province. This historic victory played a crucial role in undermining enemy strategies and laid the foundation for the 1975 Spring General Offensive and Uprising, culminating in the Hồ Chí Minh Campaign and national reunification.

Speaking at the event, PM Chính emphasized the strategic significance of the Bình Giã Victory, praising its role in affirming the revolutionary momentum in southern Vietnam and establishing critical conditions for subsequent triumphs.

“The Bình Giã victory left enduring lessons in the struggle for national independence and reunification, and these lessons remain invaluable for the ongoing efforts in national construction, defense, and development,” he said.

The Prime Minister expressed confidence in the Party Committee, authorities, armed forces, and people of Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu, urging them to build upon their revolutionary legacy to drive comprehensive development. He highlighted the province’s potential to become a leading force in socio-economic growth, setting an example in the Southeast region and across the country.

Earlier in the day, PM Chính and other delegates paid tribute to the heroic martyrs of the Bình Giã campaign by laying flowers at the Bình Giã Victory Monument, honoring the sacrifices that made the victory possible.

The Bình Giã Victory remains a symbol of Vietnam’s resilience, creativity, and strategic brilliance, providing inspiration for the nation’s ongoing progress and unity.
